Picking up the Pieces

[Omega124]

Professeur du Histoire Jean Gargon looked at the message in complete shock. Apparently, aliens visited the Earth back during Egypt, and the Hebrews were the chosen race of said aliens. Not only that, but the Pyramids are giant power plants.

Now, history does march on; new evidence kills off old ideas. For example, it was supposedly discovered that it was the farmers, not the slaves, that built those infamous triangular tombs. However, this was beyond comprehension. This changes our perception of ourselves permanently. Are these Neters really saying the truth? Or were they, as his students would put, trolls? According to Egyptian Internet users, those Pyramids are producing electricity. Either aliens came to the Earth, or Egyptians/Hebrews had technology far surpassing anything modern man can make now. The former, sadly, was the only plausible reason.

Jean sighed and picked up his pen. Might as well get with the times, and write a lesson on this. What would a good name be for this? Everything you thought you knew is wrong. Sounds perfect. Time to get writing...

From: TFE

So, the Hebrews did build the power plants after all, which are giant power plants, no less? Then Juadism is in fact an extraterrisial religion, taught by you.

...What?

Was the Coloussus a war machine? The Sphinx a giant dog? What was the purpose of visiting this planet and building the Pyramids? Why didn't you just attack us while we're weaker?

What's with the racism against the aliens? The Ralfaki are dead, and the remaining species most likley just want to leave this blue marble as much as you want them to.Learn to forgive and forget.

Hang the **** on, we're coming, with style.

OOC: I Love that Omega! Very funny. (on a separate note: irl the pyramids we're not built by slaves thats a common misconception both the pyramids and the valley of kings were constructed by Very highly trained artisans in a guild. You may have herd of them they went, and still go, by the name Free Masons)

From: Fighter Squadron Epsilon

Greetings Monsieur Bonaparte we, the pilots of Fighter Squadron Epsilon, have intercepted several of your transmissions and seek only to live in peace with the people of this planet. Perhaps we can help each other rebuild and live in harmony on this planet which you call home.

Thank you.

However, I did say that they weren't built by slaves. By supposedly, I meant that the alien theroy, because the Naters did say the Hebrews built it.

For example, it was supposedly discovered that it was the farmers, not the slaves, that built those infamous triangular tombs.

It was really built by the farmers between harvest and planting that had nothing better to do. Artisans might also have been hired, but they weren't Freemasons. That's just as conspiracy theorist-like as these aliens. They didn't even exist until the late 1500s AD.

Hello, Nalese. We hope we can live in peace as well. Let us rebuild this torn planet.

From: The Neter

We had nothing to do with the Colossus, but yes, we have other components to our planetary stronghold.

I understand how sensitive you are towards the thought of people conquering your home planet, the concept that this planet holds vast wealth and is well situated within the galactic chessboard. Many of us had the same thoughts regarding our first planets. We set up Earth because it was out of the way. One does not build their secret secured bunker in a place that one's enemies would believe they would plausibly hold.

In the name, and with the peace, of the All Seeing Eye,

We are unsure that these aliens can be trusted. However we are also unsure that the French can be trusted.

 

[SKILORD]

OOC: The people who built the pyramids became the Hebrews, the Neter don't care what mythology they constructed to explain themselves later.

Also, according to the Neter/Rafiki sensors, for the record, George W. Bush caused 9/11, in fact thats why they came to Earth. (and Obama is a secret Muslim, that also contributed)

Why not?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

How would their sensors notice those things?

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Tsierik had been busily establishing his new command site outside of the crashed Scafiri when the first transmission arrived.

“Commander Tsierik-Lufor Khaz-Dio of Omicron Wing we have received your distress call, we have enough fighters to help you evacuate however we are stuck on the planet as well. Our sensors show that there are no ships remaining in orbit. Do you require our assistance?”

The message's signature interference clearly pinned it as Nalese. The Tourliski Wing Commander immediately began to cool towards the transmission as he unraveled the identity of its originator. Tersely, he provided a response.

"Is this Fighter Squadron Epsilon? Please explain your actions in shooting down our ship, you have ended the lives of hundreds of Tourliski crewmembers, and one Rafiki."

*****

"This is the Captain Qarinah of the Letahl. We have crashed in an unkown location, likely somewhere on the Continent the Natives call South America. Requesting any and all assistance from capable units. This ship is heavily damaged, and will be unable to take off. I had, before the crash, a hundred Lilin infiltrators aboard, but I don't know how many have survived. Please, anyone out there, we need help."

To Anyone listening on the Rafiki Frequencies. This is Captain Qarinah of the Letahl. I have been broadcasting a message once a day on these frequency for months. This is my last attempt, one final bid before I shut the long range transmitter down to save power.

The Letahl has crashed deep in the area known to the humans as the Amazon Basin, more or less structurally intact, though too severely damaged to ever fly again. Of the original crew of 130, only 97, including myself, survived the crash. We have supplemented these numbers with humans, most of who are on the brink of starvation. To be honest, we’re not doing much better, though we recently have set up a farm.

If any Xenobiologists are out there listening, we have something interesting to report about the effect the Pheremones all Succubi produce. As well as the proven effect of ingratiating the Lilin with any near us, it has proved to be a huge aphrodisiac among the humans. A population boom is expected.

Please, anyone out there able to respond, We need to know if anyone else is alive out there! If anyone else survived.

"Greetings Captain Qarinah, this is Wing Commander Tsierik-Lufor Khaz-Dio. We are currently crashed somewhere in the Central Asian region of this planet, and suffering quite badly from the heavy gravity. While we lack the fuel to traverse the planet, we may be able to establish a teleporter network connecting our two downed forces, so that we may pool our resources in order to extract ourselves from this miserable world."

To: All aliens on Earth
From: SHEILD

We want you to leave. NOW!

"Give us a functional jump-capable interstellar carrier and we'll get off of your awful rock."

*****

"Greetings Nitros in Rouen, Omicron Wing's status is known to you by the open channels, what is your status?"

*****

"Greetings Puumons in Johannesburg, you are in fierce conflict with the natives, please describe your situation."

*****

"Greetings Succubi in Nevada, Omicron Wing's status is known to you by the open channels, what is your status?"

*****

"Greetings Gamma Squadron, your present geographic location is close to our own, which makes cooperation between our forces straightforward. Our Supercarrier, the Scafiri, has been downed by members Nalese squadrons of Wings Upsilon, Epsilon, Mu, and Eta. Many of my friends and crew died by their paws, and I would exercise caution in relation to them until their actions have been clarified and justified."

*****

"Attention any Tourliski units crash-landed or remaining in orbit around Earth. This is Wing Commander Tsierik-Lufor Khaz-Dio. We have established a base in a reasonably comfortable environment, and are in the process of constructing a low-gravity environment in order to prevent further crippling from the brutal gravity of this world. Please contact us."

 

[SKILORD]

How would their sensors notice those things?

Well, Humans are of course aware of magic.


Well, this was ultra magic x1k.

I'm just desperately trying to wrap up the explanation of the Neter. Because I said so. The conspiracy theory ultra magic angle, lets just leave it here and move on. The neter are on Earth to provide some early advantage to Human/Western factions, later the circle will arrive for bonuses to alien/Eastern factions. The Rafiki have been beaten back, the recent actions or identities of American presidents are not relevant.

 

[hbar]

He wanted to be a doctor.

Of course, that was never possible. The first son of the Rhodes family always took over the cartel; that is how it was done. Still, it had occurred to Cecil that if he'd been free to choose, he probably would have been incinerated in the fall of Manhattan.

In fact, his upbringing had come in surprisingly handy. The Rhodes family was never afraid to get their hands dirty, and almost two centuries of manipulating the local tribes into fighting each other made it easier to unite them against a common enemy. "If this war goes on long enough, I could be the king of Africa." He chuckled at the thought. Even after the fall of humanity, Africa was still a land of savages ruled by a white Imperialist.

To Carlo Gagiano:
This is Cecil Rhodes. I hear you need assistance; I may be able to help. What is your situation?

 

[SKILORD]

EDIT: OOC: In the end, let's all understand that the narrating character that I use to frame the updates is a highly paranoid alien abductee who takes off his tinfoil helmet in order to hear radio waves that he uses to watch your factions operate. There are going to be conspiracy theory elements.


From: Rouen
To: Omicron Wing

We are well. We simply plan to sell off any Rafiki equipment that we have and then pay our way off this planet. Casualties were low, but without any of the support from the conglomerate we've decided that perpetuating this war is needless and also dangerous. Please check our prices in the stats post.

From: Johannesburg Puumons
To: Omicron Wing

Humans have seized a shipment of plasma rifles and are fighting us in the streets. Although their understanding of the operation of these weapons is imperfect, because of the extremely close proximity when they overload the plasma cells and the thing explodes it often kills many of my troops as well. Holding the city further will require more support. Can you provide air support Omicron Wing?

From: Indian Springs
To: Omicron Wing

Very irritable humans everywhere. Intolerable weather. It's getting hotter. The humans are getting angrier. Request Evac.

From: Gamma Squadron
To: Omicron Wing

Your warnings about Epsilon will not go unheeded. They are truly bad kitties. Our fighters have been scrambled by human viruses, we cannot launch them, but we are trying to establish some control over the local situation.

From: Johannesburg Resistance
To: DeBeers

We are pinned down in Kempton Park. We have procured a large number of the enemy's plasma weapons and are attempting to fight them. Do not play with those things, sometimes they explode at random and I'm talking a big friggen explosion. We are willing to offer you half of the information you will require to operate them effectively if you can send some sort of support. It would also make the human inhabitants here much more comfortable to know that someone who wasn't an oversized warthog was in command of the city.


EDIT: Iggy, I'll give you some more Tourliski factions to play with, give me a little bit though, I'm not ignoring you.

 

[SouthernKing]

From: Primm Central
To: LA Municipal Empire

We are willing to help you in your cause. Just specify what kind of assistance you need and we will do what we can. If we work together, we can take back California, the US, and the world for humanity.

From: Primm Central
To: US Missile Command

We stand for humanity, and wish to take Earth back for humanity. We can help you if you help us.

From: Primm Central
To: SHIELD

It seems that y'all share a similar goal with us. If you are willing to help the Resistance, we can help you. Together, we can take Earth back.

To: Omicron Wing

The loss of the Scarifi while tragic claimed the lives of tens of thousands of the enslaving Rafiki we are sorry for your losses, and will assist you in anyway that you can.

However Fighter Squadron Epsilon had nothing to do with the attack on the Scarifi. and Furthermore no nothing whatsoever about "Operation Ball of Yarn"

 

[Seon]

Spoiler :

"Where the **** are you taking me?!" a captured goon of the drug cartel screamed as he was dragged by two Nitros, both armed to the teeth.

If they had teeth, that is. The goon struggled and in the process, kicked one of the Nitros in between the leg. The Nitro looked down, not in pain, but in confusion. It didn't have anything there.

The other Nitro seemed to more amused than angered, and lifted the goon over its head. Then it carried it until it crashed through the doors of the makeshift HQ and threw the goon down on the floor.

When the goon came back to his senses, he found himself staring into the face of a Nitro in midnight black armor. "Human," Nitro muttered. "I am the Vanguard."

The Nitro frowned, and adjusted a few settings in the collar. "Ah, that is better," it said. "What is your name?"

"Err.... Lopez?" the goon said. "That is not your real name, is it? Vanguard?"

"What is wrong with it? It describes my function well. My men and I have been sent to this land of this planet in order to soften the terrestrial defense and perform reconnasiance until the main army of the Rafiki arrive. Thusly, my name, the Vanguard, for I am the first one to arrive at the scene of the battle."

"Uh...huh..." Lopez muttered. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Shoot."

"You've just started to randomly attack outlying villages and stealing...cooks... why?"

"We've read an interesting article on your online database." The Nitro shook its wings towards a monitor.

"...Serious?" Lopez said.

Lopez stared deeply into the monitor. "Are you saying that you abducted all of our cooks in order to..."

"Understand more about your culture. Unfortunately that has not worked in our favor as of yet, although the...tacos...did taste greater than anything the Rafiki provided us with."

The Vanguard handed him a small cube. "All our daily nutrition in this smellless, tasteless cube."

Lopez buried his face in his palms. "...Is there a reason why you just suddenly started attacking the local militia too?"

"Why must there be a reason?"

"...?" Lopez said.

"We have read human philosophy articles... and most of them attempts to seek out meaning in life. Unlike humans and the Rafiki, who can apparently find a meaning in life for their own, we have been bred, genetically modified, cyber enhanced, and trained to be the greatest soldiers that ever existed in the world," the Vanguard said. "Unlike you, our purpose in life is clear. We exist to fight. Therefore, we must fight."

"That's the only reason?"

"Yes."

"Was your plan just to gun down everything armed in sight?"

"...Is there another plan?" The Vanguard said.

Lopez beat his head against the wall.

"But upon further considerations, we did detect a flaw in this plan."

"Oh really?"

"Yes," the Nitro said. "If we kill all the militia in the region, than we will be hardpressed to move our people and fight other beings out there."

Lopez resumed beating his head against the wall.

"...Thusly we have decided to accept mercenary contracts."

"...what." Lopez stopped beating his head against the wall. "Sorry, I missed that."

"We have decided to accept mercenary contracts, with the right payment."

"How do humans know that they can trust you?"

"We do not understand how trust can play into the factor," the Vanguard said. "Our entire existence is devoted to fighting. The only reason why we will accept payment from others is to ensure that we have constant supply of weapons and soldiers. We will kill anything that you ask us to. That is where you come in."

"Me?"

"We need a human advocate for us," the Vanguard said. "We decided that a former Cartel member would fit nicely for the task."

"What do you want me to do?" The Vanguard handed him a radio transceiver.

"You will use this to call the others in your cartel. Then you will relay them our offer and explain our position."

"...If I don't want to?"

"Then you shall share the fate of the cook who served my men spoiled meat."

"...What happened to him again?"

.................................................................................


"[static]- Hey BOSS! This is Lopez calling..."

"Lopez? I thought you got captured by those damn ostriches..."

"yeah, I was. Listen, I am in a tough spot here..."

"how did you call me?"

"They gave me a transceiver. Listen boss... most of the prisoners they took are safe. Most of them anyways."

"Most?"

"Some got eaten. Listen boss... they might not be as bad as we thought. Okay, they are all crazed bloodthirsty bastards that we thought them to be... but we might be able to use it for our advantage..."

 

[Lord_Iggy]

SKILORD, can I fly my fighters without fuel, or can I open up teleporters to various sites without fuel? I need to know this before I respond to diplomacy.

 

[SKILORD]

There are no ET technologies that require human fuel.

You'll have to find a working teleporter.... somewhere...

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Okay, and how does teleportation work?

From: Fighter Squadron Epsilon

We received your transmission, we are not on the same continent as you but we still live. We know of other Nitros who still live as well. Can we assist you in any way?

OOC: @Seon are your people based on the Jem'hadar?

 

[Seon]

OOC: @Seon are your people based on the Jem'hadar?

No, they are just something that I thought of that would be the most crazed, bloodthirsty, insane, mad, and crazed killers of all the worlds.

There are more than one synonyms in the above sentence. That is on purpose.

Confirming, I will have a story and orders for you tomorrow
